How it feels

A deliberate and introspective puzzle-platformer about navigating a corrupted digital world while subtly conveying a sense of fading identity and quiet perseverance.

What players say

Players praise this puzzle-platformer for its original movement mechanics and the way it keeps introducing new ideas even 15 hours in. The game offers roughly 30 hours of content including a substantial post-game, and many call it deeply underrated. A minority reports performance issues even on powerful hardware.
